Prevalence of spondylarthropathies in HLA‐B27 positive and negative blood donors [PDF]
OBJECTIVE To determine the overall prevalence of spondylarthropathy (SpA) among whites. METHODS To screen for SpA symptoms, such as inflammatory back pain (IBP), joint swelling, psoriasis, and uveitis, or a specific family history, questionnaires were ...

Association between polymorphism of the vitamin D metabolism gene CYP27B1 and HLA-B27-associated uveitis. Is a state of relative immunodeficiency pathogenic in HLA B27-positive uveitis? [PDF]
Polymorphisms of the vitamin D metabolism gene CYP27B1 showed associations with multiple autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between the rs703842 A>G polymorphism of the CYP27B1 gene and HLA-B27-associated

Clinical picture of ankylosing spondylitis in HLA-B27 positive and negative patients
The link between the HLA-B27 gene and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been known for almost 50 years. During this time, it has been discovered that some of the clinical manifestations of the disease are uniformly associated with the disease in almost all

Interaction between HLA-B60 and HLA-B27 as a Better Predictor of Ankylosing Spondylitis in a Taiwanese Population. [PDF]
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a form of chronic inflammatory spondyloarthritis (SpA) that causes pain and stiffness in spines or joints. Human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) and B60 (HLA-B60) have been reported as major genetic risk factors of AS.

HLA‑B27 misfolding and spondyloarthropathies [PDF]
HLA-B27 plays a central role in the pathogenesis of many spondyloarthropathies and in particular ankylosing spondylitis. The observation that the HLA-B27 heavy chain has a tendency to misfold has raised the possibility that associated diseases may belong in a rapidly expanding category of protein misfolding disorders. The synthesis of the HLA-B27 heavy

HLA-B27 subtypes in the spondarthropathies [PDF]
SUMMARYThe spondartliropathy (Sp)-associated HLA-B27 antigen includes al least seven subtypes. B*2701–07, of which 01, 02, 05 and 07 occur in Caucasians. This study examined the B27 subtype distribution in British patients with Sp. The 133 HLA-B27+ subjecis comprised 94 European Caucasian Sp (58 ankylosing spondylitis (AS), 22 reactive arlhrilis (ReA ...

Objective Axial disease is common and burdensome in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Human leukocyte antigen‐B27 (HLA‐B27) is a risk factor for axial PsA; treatment response by HLA‐B27 status is inadequately characterized.

Homozygosity For HLA‐B27 [PDF]
AbstractThe effect of homozygosity for HLA‐B27 on the clinical expression of rheumatic disease was studied in two families. The 1 homozygous patient in each of two families demonstrated extraordinarily severe peripheral and axial arthritis compared to other affected heterozygous relatives.

The Ramifications of HLA-B27 [PDF]
Thirty years after its discovery,1,2 the association between HLA-B27 and ankylosing spondylitis remains the strongest known relationship between a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen and a disease. Epidemiological studies in the 1960s and early 1970s identified close links between several distinct forms of arthritis that were given the ...
